Mirasil silicones for personal care
Bluestar Silicones North America has selected Unipex Solutions Canada, Boucherville, Quebec, a commercial unit of the Unipex Group, as the authorised distributor of Mirasil silicones for the personal care industry in Canada. Unipex has been named the Canadian distributor for the core group of Mirasil silicone grades including performance blends like high-molecular weight gums in carriers such as cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone.
The new partnership extends Bluestar Silicones’ existing relationship with Unipex in Europe and takes advantage of their strong technical expertise. “This agreement is a very important part of our strategy to reach personal care formulators,” explained Mark Neuber, business director of core fluids and elastomers for Bluestar Silicones. “We’ve also renewed our focus on distribution as a key market channel by partnering with companies like Unipex who can deliver the full breadth of ingredients for personal care formulators and toll manufacturers.”
“We welcome this new distribution arrangement which expands our portfolio options for personal care formulating companies,” said Marcel Painchaud, market manager for Life Sciences for Unipex Solutions Canada. “Our strategy to align our business with global industry leaders is further solidified by this agreement with Bluestar Silicones.”
